Cake Construction

Eli's Boy Scout had it's annual cake auction. Local businesses bid on the finished products. Mom and Eli spent a great part of Sunday afternoon baking and decorating. We started by baking three cake mixes and later made two batches of fondant.. How else are you going to create an edible hill and campsite?

A road was later transformed into a stream.

As I am look back, I realized we missed putting color in the fire pit! Oh well, there's always next year.

And, wa la, a cake is completed. We are not too picky about the finished product. It was the fun of spending time together. So fun to spend time with Eli one on one. However, Sidney was mighty unhappy as she screamed "CAKE!!!" while playing with daddy in the other room. 

Eli focusing not to drop the cake standing with the auctioneer. 

Monday afternoon, as we put on the finishing touches, I threw an almost empty bowl of green frosting in front of Sidney and let her play. It was a desperate move to keep her occupied so we could finish! Sidney was more than happy to comply.
